Answer 1

Add this Script  
<script type = "text/javascript">
 function SetTarget() {
     document.forms[0].target = "_blank";
 }
</script>
and 
<asp:Button ID="BTNpRINT"  runat="server" Text="PRINT"  CssClass="btn btn-primary"  OnClick="BTNpRINT_Click" OnClientClick = "SetTarget();"/>    
and 
protected void BTNpRINT_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Redirect(string.Format("~/Print.aspx?ID={0}",txtInv.Text));
    }

Answer 2

You have to use Javascript since code behind is server side only. I am pretty sure that this works.

<asp:Button ID="btnNewEntry" runat="Server" CssClass="button" Text="New Entry" OnClick="btnNewEntry_Click" OnClientClick="aspnetForm.target ='_blank';"/>

protected void btnNewEntry_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Response.Redirect("New.aspx");
}

You shuld do it by client side. you can place a html hyperlink with target="_blank" and style="display:none". after that create a javascript function like following

function openwindow(){
$("#hyperlinkid").click();
return false;
}

use this function as onclientclick event handler of the button like onclientclick="return openwindow()" You need to include a jquery in the page.

You can add to your button OnClientClick like so:

<asp:Button ID="" runat="Server" Text="" OnClick="btnNewEntry_Click" OnClientClick="target ='_blank';"/>

This will change the current form's target for all buttons to open in new tab. So to complete the fix you can then use 2 approaches:

1. For any other button in this form, add to client click a "reset form target" function like so:

function ResetTarget() {
   window.document.forms[0].target = '';
}

2. Add the same code inside the function inside a setTimeout() so the code will reset the form's target after few moments. See this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/40682253/8445364

Answer 5

add target='_blank' after check validation :

    <asp:button id="_ButPrint"  ValidationGroup="print" OnClientClick="if (Page_ClientValidate()){$('form').attr('target','_blank');}"  runat="server" onclick="ButPrint_Click" Text="print" />

Per Open a URL in a new tab (and not a new window) using JavaScript

Nothing an author can do can choose to open in a new tab instead of a new window.

The browser decides between opening a new tab or opening a new window. You cannot control this as a developer.
